Shipping policy
Fulfillment Model
Our store utilizes a dual-source fulfillment model. Products may be shipped from one of two distinct fulfillment partners or warehouses. The specific fulfillment location is determined by factors including the product ordered, inventory availability, and the delivery destination.
-
Order Processing: Orders typically require 3 to 5 business days for processing and preparation before shipment. This processing time is separate from the shipping time.
-
Split Shipments: Due to our dual fulfillment structure, if your order contains items sourced from both partners, it may be divided into two or more separate shipments, each with its own tracking number and delivery timeline. There will be no additional shipping cost to the customer for split shipments necessitated by our fulfillment model.
Shipping Rates and Time Frames
Shipping costs and estimated delivery times are dynamically calculated at checkout.
-
Variable Rates: Shipping rates are subject to the current, real-time pricing provided by our fulfillment partners and their designated carriers (e.g., USPS, UPS, FedEx, DHL, etc.). Rates are calculated based on the weight, dimensions, destination, and selected shipping method for the item(s) in your order.
-
Estimated Time Frames: The delivery time frames provided at checkout are estimates only, based on carrier projections.
Delays and Unforeseen Circumstances
We strive to meet all estimated delivery times; however, all shipping operations are subject to factors beyond our direct control.
-
Potential Delays: Shipment time frames are not guaranteed. Delays may occur due to, but are not limited to, high volume periods (e.g., holidays), inclement weather, customs processing (for international orders), or carrier-specific operational backlogs and service interruptions.
-
Liability: Once a package has been transferred to the shipping carrier, the risk of loss and title for the items passes to the customer. We are not responsible for delivery delays caused by the carrier or unforeseen external events. We will, however, assist in tracking a package and resolving issues with the carrier to the best of our ability.
Taxes, Duties, and Fees
-
Shipping Fees: The shipping cost paid at checkout covers the cost of transportation only.
-
Customs and Import Taxes (International Orders): Customers are solely responsible for all customs duties, import taxes, value-added taxes (VAT), brokerage fees, and any other governmental charges or fees imposed by the destination country. These charges are typically collected by the carrier upon delivery and are not included in the item price or shipping cost displayed at checkout. We cannot predict or estimate the total amount of these charges.
-
Sales Tax (Domestic Orders): Applicable sales tax will be collected as required by law and shown as a separate line item at checkout.
Tracking Your Order
A shipping confirmation email, which includes the tracking number(s) and the name of the carrier, will be sent once your order or partial order has been dispatched from the fulfillment partner. Please allow 24-48 hours for the tracking information to update within the carrier’s system.
